- Weel explained answer needed no Ai The Coase Theorem states that: a) As long as property rights are well defined and no transaction costs exist, an efficient allocation will result b)As long as property rights are well defined and transaction costs are high, an efficient allocation will result. c)An efficient allocation will be equitable to all parties concerned. d)Property rights should initially be assigned to those affected by a negative externality.arrow_forwardThe figure shows the market for new homes at the end of 2022. Virtually everyone requires a mortgage—a loan—to buy a home. In 2023, the interest rate paid on mortgages rose significantly. Consequently, at every price the quantity of new homes demand changed by 3 million. The market was in equilibrium in 2022 and 2023. You will be asked several questions about this situation. At the end of 2022, what was the allocatively efficient quantity of new homes? Illustrate how the market (that is, the demand and supply) for new homes changed in 2023. In 2023, what is the equilibrium price and quantity of new homes? What is the allocatively efficient quantity? What is the amount of consumer surplus? Is there a deadweight loss?arrow_forwardK What are the obstacles to achieving an efficient allocation of resources in the market economy?

- As depicted in -- -, it is necessary to give up some of one good to gain more of the other good. a) the production possibilities frontier graph b) the concept of marginality c) the concept of utility d) allocative efficiencyarrow_forwardSuppose a nation has a total of 12 units of labor, which can be used to produce either guns orbutter. One gun takes 6 units of labor to produce and 1 butter takes 2 units of labor toproduce.Evaluate the allocation of resources of this country based on the following points.• Reason for the scarcity that exists in this economy. Use the data as evidence of yourreasoning.• Maximum quantity of guns that can be produced.• Maximum quantity of butter than can be produced.• Diagram which represents the nation’s production possibility curve.• Opportunity cost of guns in this nation• Reason why the nation can’t produce both 3 guns and 4 butters.• Reason why the nation shouldn’t produce both 1 gun and 2 butters.arrow_forwardIn the latter years of the command economy in the Soviet Union, there was some experimentation with private agriculture. At one point in the experiment, privately owned farms accounted for only three (3) percent of the cropland and yet produced twenty-seven (27) percent of the country's food. Use the concepts of efficiency, incentive, and quotas to explain how this situation could arise.arrow_forward
